Two cranes have arrived fully assembled at London Gateway following a journey from Shanghai. Each weighs more than 2,000 tonnes and stands nearly 150 metres high. The cranes will be installed at the new all-electric Berth 5, which is currently under construction as part of DP World’s £1 billion expansion of London Gateway. The berth is scheduled to become operational in 2027.
